** Description changed:
+ [SRU Justification]
+
+ [Impact]
+
+ In upstream commit 5370a431 ("mei: vsc: Rework firmware image names") for
+ char-misc-next targeting v6.8, the VSC firmware paths have been changed to
+ intel/vsc instead of the original vsc/soc_a1_prod that has been used for all
+ existing Intel IPU6 camera platforms.
+
+ [Fix]
+
+ Upstream linux-firmware commit cfc997c6 ("intel: vsc: Add firmware for Visual
+ Sensing Controller").
+
+ In order to keep backward compatibility for Jammy oem/hwe kernels, an
additional
+ patch adds symlinks for each moved binary.
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ The binaries are bit-to-bit identical, except for the destination path
+ installed. With extra symlinks created, all the IPU6 platforms should keep
+ working as usual.
+
+ [Where problems could occur]
+
+ No problem is expected.
+
+ [Other Info]
+
+ We're switching to upstreamed binaries in Jammy and Noble, because they're
+ likely to receive furhter updates for both linux-firmware and vsc drivers.

[SRU Justification]
[Impact]
In upstream commit 5370a431 ("mei: vsc: Rework firmware image names") for
char-misc-next targeting v6.8, the VSC firmware paths have been changed to
intel/vsc instead of the original vsc/soc_a1_prod that has been used for all
existing Intel IPU6 camera platforms.
[Fix]
Upstream linux-firmware commit cfc997c6 ("intel: vsc: Add firmware for Visual
Sensing Controller").
In order to keep backward compatibility for Jammy oem/hwe kernels, an
additional
patch adds symlinks for each moved binary.
[Test Case]
The binaries are bit-to-bit identical, except for the destination path
installed. With extra symlinks created, all the IPU6 platforms should keep
working as usual.
[Where problems could occur]
No problem is expected.
[Other Info]
We're switching to upstreamed binaries in Jammy and Noble, because they're
likely to receive furhter updates for both linux-firmware and vsc drivers.
